The Proper English Wax.

Something new appeared in New York
a short time ago, but though it is English
and has apparently come to stay it has
not met with fervid reception 1t is the
lurching English walk. PerhaL the most
proficient of its vOtarieS is LondOner
named Benson, who came here with lot
of letters recently and has spent all his
time since in dashing up and down the
steps of Fifth avenue residences, leaving
vast quantities of cards upon the citizens
Of New York. His manner of walking
was recognized at once as distinctly the
thing in London this year, and club men
and anglomaniacs lay in wait along Fifth
avenue to see him pass by. OF all the
walks this is the most absurd.
To begin, in good form, the knees must
never be Strengthened under any circum-
stances, and the toe should be turned out
as far as possible without putting the heel
in advance of them This gives rather
parenthetical look to the legs from the
front elevation, but it is Individually cor
rect, nevertheless Having assumed this
posture, the walker should lean his body
forward from the hips, draw his shoulders
over in front, elevate the chin as far as
possible, and then start off with the arms
hanging straight at the side. Bend the
knees outward at every step and move as
rapidly as possible. Repeat as before, and
then rest eight minutes in a horizontal
position. Altogether the walk is not I'M
like that affected by variety actors
mimicking old plantation darkies, and
am told that if a man huns gently some
such strain as Climbing up the Golden
Stairs while perfecting himself IN the
minor details of the walk he will be vastly
aided MISUNDERSTANDING Star.

Will water-ColOr Pictures raGer

The much-discussed subject of the per
manence of water-color pictures seems
TOW to be pretty effectually disposed Of
The arguments of those English artists
who took the ground that water colors
would fade occasioned some uneasiness
and alarm among the lovers of those
charming pictures. Sir James Linton
who is champion OK this graceful school
of painting, has settled the question by
getting together a large number of the
works of old artists, some of them
painted half century ago, which yet
show no signs of any deterioration. 1t is
not easy to get around evidence of this
kind, and the friends of the water color
are we'll satisfied with the result. Chi

ISLAND NOTES.

HONoKAA, Hawaii, April list.
A very profitable and systematic sort OF
a swindIe is carried on here in the shape of
a Chinese lottery. Several Chinese agents
are constantly going the rounds selling
tickets-little strips of red paper. You can
purchase any quantity from ten cents
worth up to So. The entire earnings OF
some Cinnamon and natives are squandered
on these lotteries, and to keep up appear
ances once in a long time some ChinaInan
will draw prize of $50 or $40. The law as
it stands now is very severe in regard to
gambling and lotteries: why is it that the
authorities do not put a stop to this system
of robbery? 1t is supposed to be carried
on oy some of the Chinese stores through
outside agents.
A prominent Chinese store III this village
paid for landing their goods last quarter
70 cents, and for hauling same SIPS, and
the said articles did not consist of dry
goods. The question naturally arises what
supports this store and four or five China
men?
One of our planters here has been sued
before the Hilo term of Court for $500 dam
ages by japanese laborers for defamation
of character. Planters will have to be
careful how they express themselves about
their shipped labor.
The weather still continues very dry.

scarce; only SO of an inch this month, is

LAST YEARS TREASURY STATEMENT

In another part of to-day's ADVERTISER
we print detailed statement of the in
come and expenditure of the Hawaiian
Kingdom for the year ended March 81,
1887, without waiting for its tardy APP
pearance in the official gazette. This
publication on our part will doubtless
be acceptable to the taxpayers. Although
under some heads OF income and expend-
iture we should have preferred more de-
tails than are given, yet for all practical
purposes the Treasury statement is suffi-
cient Following is a summary OF the
totals:

Total

This statement leaves an unexpended
balance Of So, O56 So in the Treasury
with which to start the financial year,
April J, 1887, as against 1914 So, the
credit balance at the corresponding date,
1856. But inasmuch as the April bal
ance Of 1886 is included in that of 1887,
the exact amount to credit at the close
OF las years operations was $21 1892 81.
This is apparently a better showing
than for 1886, but to arrive at correct
judgment upon this point it would be
necessary to analyze the Treasury state
ments for the respective years, which is
foreign to the purpose of this article.
The Treasury statement does not show
and could not possibly be expected to
show-thA liabilities of the Government
on March 81, 1887, and therefore it is
impossible to tell it's true financial posi-
ton; but it does present the following
items under the head of receipts, which
cannot be treated as revenue, and should
therefore be deducted:
Special Loan. $50, 900 90
u. DO-SO
Loan Act, August 1, 1874 . 5000 90
Haw. Postal Savings Bank, 81, 1913 81
Making a total of $645, 228 81. If this
amount, plus $9,174 50 balance from
1886, be deducted from the gross sum
stated above, We have 81, 255 ,032 81 as
the amount of receipts from all sources
of income. And this gives the Treas
ury the advantage of considerable
amount which, upon a close classified
ton of items, could not be regarded as
revenue, but as wind-falls.
Strictly speaking the revenue for the
fiscal year ended April L, 1887, did not
exceed 81 ,225 900, if so much; but
taking the larger figure, which includes
realizations of various kinds, we have a
probable total for the biennial period of
$2,510,065 "A, or 1929, 859 81 short of
81, $50 1924 So, the amount estimated by
the Government at the commencement
of the biennial period as available from
all sources. The Legislature appropri-
ated 81 ,552, All Is, a sum far in excess
Of any probable income for the bien-
NAL period after making allowance for
realiZations from loan.
And at this point it is proper to remark
that the item, Hawaiian Postal Savings
Bank, $132, 1928 81, appears for the first
time in the Treasury statement of re-
ceipts. It is in reality, however, popu-
lar loan at 6 per cent, which the Govern
ment has used as revenue. This includes
the special deposit known as the "Japan-
csc Fund, y demand for which, it was
stated some time ago, had been made
by the Japanese Commissioner to this
Kingdom. Among the disbursements in
the Finance Department is an item of
s2S, 092 II under the head of Japan
csc Fund" 1t is simply cross-entry,
the amount having been transferred from
special deposit at the Treasury to the
Postal Savings Bank account. The
money was not refunded to the Japanese
Commissioner for account of specific de-
positors.
1t will be noted that an item of $685.
6S2 81 appears in the Treasury payments
for q expenses floating loan" We think
it viii be found upon inquiry that this
represents the expense incurred in float

Shut in the Cemetery.
From the Mem York !S1lr..


WASHINGTON Oct. 22-The gates Of Airing
ton snap shut at shutdown. This has been their
custom since Secretary Stanton bought the
place and converted it into a national cemetery
in 1864. For twenty three years visitors who
make Arlington the object of an evening drive,
have listened nervously for the dreadful boom
of the sunset gun at Fort Myer, near by. On
Wednesday night young navy officer, who is
very proud OF his fine blooded mare took
young lady out for a ride. After making
call on the family of one oIthe officers at Fort
Myer, they thought they would go down
through Arlington to the long bridge As the
fine blooded mare was walking lesurey down
the hill in front of Arlington House, the sunset
and dashed his mare, only to find the central
gate shut when he reached it a moment later
Whipping across the grass he made for the
north gate. That too, was shut. Then he
dashed off to the south gate. That, too, was
closed and no one was in sight In despair the
prisoners went up the hill to the mansion, where
they were told that the superintendent had all
the keys, and had gone over to Georgetown to
spend the evening The keys are never kept
inside the cemetery. There was nothing to do
but to batter down the gates with sledge ham
mer. This the stalwart young Lieutenant tried
to do, but that also failed. As the fading light
reminded him that something must be done, he
concluded to leave his horse and go home afoot
Craze among the graves, and the navy man
boosted his companion over the high wall that
surrounds Arlington, himself leaped over, and
they trudged off on the long walk homeward.
The next morning the Lieutenant took another
walk, caught his mare and drove home. reSolv-
ing never TO visit Arlington again as long as the
sun sets.

A Revolt Against Law.

At a meeting of London sympathizers
with the Chicago Anarchists, the other day,
the proceedings of which were reported
briefly by telegraph, one of the speakers de-
clared that if he had an opportunity he
would consider it his "proudest duty to rid
the world of such a villain as Judge Gary.
The hate expressed by the speaker was
probably entirely impersonal He called
Judge Gary villain because in him the law
was impersonated. He would perhaps not
deny that every right given by the law to
the men on trial was fully accorded them
The objection is to the existence of law itself.
This attitude of mind is what makes the
Anarchist dangerous to officers of the law,
but at the same time renders him harmless
TO the country as a whole. 1t makes him a
mere criminal, not a revolutionist. The
reason of this is that the American people
look on the law as the expression of their
own will They know that if a law is
oppressive or unjust the effect of its work
ing will finally cause its repeal. With this
knowledge, they can afford to wait.
The number of people who sympathize
with the aims of the Anarchists in this
country is very small-perhaps not more
than a few hundred. They are confined
almost entirely to the large cities, and are
chiefly foreigners, who have brought with
them the detestation of law learned in coun-
tries where the government is not so respon
sive to the will of the people as is ours Among
them, however, are a few Americans, and it
would be interesting, were it possible, to
find out if each of them has not by some act
of his own put himself outside the pale of
sympathy and association of his country
men, How much did the marriage of AL
bert Parsons to a mulatto woman have to
do with his adoption of the
principles of anarchy! He was
born at the South, and no doubt enter
tanned att one time the same ideas as to
miscegenation that Southern men in general
do. When in spite of this he married the
woman, it was natural that he should re-
volt against the society which had cast him
out as moral leper, and attempt to break it
down. He was no longer an American, be-
cause he was no longer in touch with the
prevailing sentiment among his own people,
and naturally fell in with the morbid
minded foreigners among whom he has
gained such a bad eminence. His is per-
haps a typical case of the few American
Anarchists.

Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt is perhaps the
most distinguished New York Republican
of the younger generation. This fact adds
Importance and interest to the following
sentence taken from an article written by
him and recently published: "The world
has never seen better soldiers than those
who followed Lee; and their leader will I'M
doubtedly rank as without any exception
the very greatest of all the great chieftains
that the English speaking peoples have
brought forth--and this, although the last
and chief of his antagonists may himself
claim to stand as the full equal of Marl-
borough and Wellington" The day may yet
come when Southern heroes will be national
heroes, along with those who fought on the
the other side.

Long Distance Rides Make Men Fatter.

A curious fact is brought to light by Capt
Dean Pitts valuable record of Long Distance
Rides 1t is that the men who were engaged
in this severe work seem to gain weight instead
of losing il. This is especially noticeable in the
case of Lieut. Broadwood's ride from Bangalore
to Mysore, and the care and thoroughneSS with
which that officers report has been drawn up
guarantee the figures to be perfectly reliable.
out of the twelve men who made the march
only two lost weight by it; two weighed in at
the same weight as when they started, and the
remaining eight had all gained Now, it is well
known that men in hard training often 20 up in
weight but this is popularity accounted for on
the ground that the superfuous tissue they get
rid of is replaced by heavier muscle
The Mysore march, however. lasted only two
days, in which time no physiological change of
the kind could have been set up; and, moreover,
the weather dit was the 18th and 14th of March
is said 10 have been very hot. 1t must be a
despairing revelation TO any man who is think
ing OF 'Banting" to find that he may ride $50
miles in two days under AN Indian sun and a
camp diet and yet become heavier The same,
however, is the case with the men of the Royal
Artillery detachment, which made the march
from kamptee to Jubbulpore, whose weights
were also taken. One or two men lost a pound
or two, but the great majority gained, while one
man actually increased by stone and another
by re pounds.
